Collie Weather


Image 1

Collie Weather is an app for Coloradans everywhere! (Being in Colorado helps however). With this app you can get local forecasts per zip code - both hourly and 10-day - or if you're going to hit the slopes, get an update on snowfall, wind speed, and projected temperature for over a dozen of Colorado's most popular resorts. This app was a team collaboration using git version control, employing angular and the Weather Underground API.


MEMEr


Image 2

Want that perfect Meme to send around the office? Look no further. With OAuth, a clean and simple UI, and a meme generating API all you need to do is choose a photo, top and bottom text and...voila. This app employs passport.js for user authentication and a standard MVC setup for Node.js.




Fishr


Image 3

Fishr is a fly fishing app built by (a) fly fisher for other fly fishermen and -women. Using google's geolocation feature, users can sign in, and drop a pin where they made their latest catch, including when the catch was made, what kind of fish was hooked, and on what fly (size and type). And of course, usrs get to upload that all-important trophy photo along with the post!


Trashr


Image 4

As an avid recycler and waste-not evangelist, this simple browser game remains near and dear to me. Using simple javascript and css animations, users MUST direct trash and recyclables into their proper recepticles. Those who don't are sternly punished!!


Client Projects




Jake (Actor)


Image 1

This site was built for a friend of a friend - an aspiring NYC actor whose existing portfolio page (headshots, witty one-liners, etc) badly needed a facelift! It was built on wordpress via a local MAMP server. Break a Leg, Jake!


Autopay


Image 2

Autopay, an auto finance/refinance company local to Denver, decided they didn't want to host their site locally, and wanted the look and feel of their forward facing marketing site to be a little...fresher. We decided together to migrate their wordpress instance to Squarespace, both allowing for better responsiveness across devices, as well as freeing up space on their servers.




L'Onion


Image 1

Simply. Hilarious. I built this simple wordpress blog for a friend, and am SOOOO glad I did. The concept is simple. He just wanted something to look and feel like the satire news source 'The Onion,' in such a way that he could pen his own witticisms (many of which center around the goings on in his home). I highly recommend a read, I'm not sure what he's doing arguing cases in a courtroom rather than as a writer for SNL.


James Anderson (Author)


Image 2

For this project, I worked with a client who made this for a friend (James Anderson), author of "Lullaby Road" and "The Never-Open Desert Diner". The site was deployed rapidly on the wordpress platform using Visual Composer as the chosen page building engine.


Rich Douglas Photography


Image 1

This project came to me half finished, but with...issues. I had the pleasure of being able to work with the very talented architectural photographer Rich, and coach him on how to navigate the admin panel to keep adding more great stuff!


Kelly Kraiss Consulting


Image 1

This project was for a client who specializes in consulting and advocacy for children with special needs. It was a wordpress build, and involved certain theme modifications and over-the-phone coaching on back-end admin use.


Tripta Foundation


Image 1

I worked with Tripta Foundation, a nonprofit mental wealth and substance addiction center based in Mumbai, India, for a few months to kickstart their brand's digital presence. In addition to launching their CMS via Wordpress, I managed their social media (IG/Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin) with a steady drumbeat of posts, articles, stories, and (relevant) memes.


Pop-Up Housing


Image 1

I approached Pop-Up Housing because I believed strongly in what they were doing - creating low-fi housing infrastructure for the urban poor from recycled metal and waste composite material that could be assembled (or disassembled and moved) without requiring special knowledge or tools. I say 'believed' because until I spoke to the Founder over the phone, all I had to go on was outside references. Despite their great work, they didn't have a website.


Writing




Slums and Housing

I originally composed the following articles as part of a fellowship with Pop-Up Housing, a non-profit social business providing access to bottom-up housing infrastructure for migrants and slum residents in Bangalore, India. The articles were published on Pop-Up Housing's blog as part of a brand development strategy and were keyword-optimized for SEO.
